Buy him the watch with the app then you ape and donāt be surprised when he develops a drug habit or gets the shit thumped out of him. Donāt come crying here when heās in the Joy.
Itās a smart watch Bob.
You tell him to put it on when he is straying from the cul-de-sac where we live. We will know where he is and can send him a message or call him when we need him or itās dinner time.
Soundās good to me.
The only ape here is you, you fucking roaster.
Did your father beat you when you were a child? You have some very odd and violent opinions.
Thatās the modern snowflake parent - buying an app/watch to track his childās every move ā heāll be onto a drone in no time ā¦ heāll be there to slip on the kidās first condom when he loses his virginityā¦

Go easy mate, youāre showing dangerous aggressive signs for such a little fanny boy snowflake.
Parent your child properly and youāll be able to trust them. Fuckin smart phones 
Every child should have a healthy fear of their parents, yours clearly donāt if they wonāt stay where you ask them to.

Smart watch.
I know you are a product of an abusive father, but you should embrace technology.

How the fuck is it?
And whatās the kid learning from this? - heāll be like a robotā¦ If he misses his dinner because he strayed you bin it and let him go without for the night- he wont miss it again. If heās not on the street when you go calling him you ground him and he wont do it againā¦ Accountability and respect are very valuable life lessons, pal - something the modern generation dont have - theyāve replaced it with entitlement because their dopey fucking parents are running around like apes after them. If all else fails, smash the little cunt.

never heard of cybersurveillance?
youre essentially conducting cybersurveilance on your child
Would you stop, you fucking madman.
Twas my mother used to bate us with the wooden spoons when we deserved it! And we all turned out grand. We even threw the spoons into the quarry one time!
My father need only give a look and we copped the fuck on, he never once raised his finger, he didnāt need to with the ninja mother and her wooden spoons.
Seriously, a bit of tough love wouldnāt go astray there now in your case ffs, heās 10 and ignores your rules and wanders off and your solution is to buy him a smart watch and track him. Cop the fuck on to yourself.

Iām deadly serious, you might want to check with the DPC about the legality of tracking your childs movement post GDPR

Beautiful irony here as the snowflake parents plans are scuppered by GDPR snowflakery, almost as if the snowflakedness has come back to bite the snowflakes in their moisturised and sunbed tanned arses

Times have changed pal.
I think it will be a handy device. Heās at the age now that he does want to start wandering further away, I think when he wants to do this the smart watch will come in handy.
Iām going to buy him one and I will let yourself, @anon61956325 and @artfoley know how I get on.
This is the future.

Times have changed but the core values stay the same. He knows he can do what he likes because he knows his father has no backbone. Kids spot weakness a mile off.

You must live in an awful hell hole ā¦
Anyway, just make sure he still runs his destination by you verbally incase the watch goes dead ā iād hate to think of you and the mrs stood watching a little screen for hours waiting for a little blip to appear.
I hate disagreeing with @Breaking_my_balls and @anon61956325 as theyāre two of my very best epals, but I thoroughly endorse your decision. The gameās moved on, you canāt stand still or you you get overtaken. Lads saying that the wooden spoon worked on them is all a bit Arsene Wenger.

Thatās a good point, thatās why I asked if any TFK fathers had purchased a smart watch, looks like Iām blazing a trail here.
